Finally went for it... Why didn't I do it sooner, makes all other chairs inferior!

Watched this Secretlab vs Blacklyte comparison, what’s everyone’s take on it?

2 months with Secretlab and I wish I’d trusted my gut earlier
I can recommend you check out Steelcase Leap v2 if you look for office chairs. Got one in my office, and goddamm it's so comfortable.

Just need help finding the right chair
I had the secret lab for 2 weeks and returned it (lost 50bucks on return shipping- but overall support was fine for me- I see lots of bad reviews though). Believe the reviews about it being stiff- that's why I had to return it. I'm 6'2 300lbs and mostly lounge back playing with controller- the backr
